New Life’s Leadership Values

Lead a Spiritually Surrendered Life
Skill & hard work cannot make up for what is lost when we are not fully devoted to Christ.

Model New Life’s Values & Strategies
We set the culture of the church by employing a “follow me as I follow Christ” strategy.

Maintain An Infectious & Optimistic Attitude
Living by faith always produces a “can do” perspective, even in the toughest times.

Speak The Whole Truth In Love
Practicing the Matthew 18 method of conflict resolution is the best way to build and maintain healthy relationships.

Approach Ministry / Work With Intensity
Setting up the day, attacking it & then going home helps us achieve maximum productivity.

Honor & Value Volunteers
Treasuring volunteers increases their fulfillment & ensures an ever-expanding workforce.

Stay On Your Knees
Powerful partnership with God is the result of hours spent in His presence, seeking His will.

Keep One Eye On Eternity
Focusing on the eternal significance of what we do will help us relish each day of ministry.

the presence of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.

People
We believe each person who comes to New Life is a
sacred trust from God to be treasured and nurtured.

Outreach
We believe lost people matter to God, & they should matter to us.

Leadership
We believe the purposes of healthy leadership are primarily
influence, training & support…not power, authority & control.

Progressive

Mentoring
We believe mentoring & the development of people are at the
heart of every healthy ministry.
